Increasingly just another large corporation

Business Outlook

Pros

Unique place to learn. Smart and friendly colleagues. Forefront of technology development.

Cons

It's a large company now, and that shows. It's harder to have an impact on the overall business, you're a small cog in the machine. Lots of corporate politics. The culture that made the company unique is evaporating.
